Night Drew Her Sable Cloak

As the Spanish flu rages across the Americas and the Great War draws to a close on the Continent, a young midwestern missionary stands at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, alone under heaven, and contemplates the impossible mission set before her...A century later, a brand new mother fights for her life in an Argentine hospital, her body in full revolt against her very existence, her premature baby two floors below and a million miles away from her...Between them both, stretched across time and space, a pair of peripatetic parents-to-be traverse the great cities of the world, seeking truth, meaning and a place to finally call home. At once a meditation on the nature of being and a celebration of the incomprehensible unlikeliness of life itself, Night Drew Her Sable Cloak is a novel that brings together eastern and western philosophies to propose a whole new way to look at the world around us.***"When we see the whole for what it is, realize that life and death are part of a unified phenomenon, just as summer and winter are components of a greater universal cycle, the paradox vanishes, like a ghost in a dream."
